For my upcoming ethnography project, I wanted to focus on "Emory Black Twitter." You're probably like, "what in the world is that?" Well, to put it simply, the Emory Black community has united in more ways than one on campus: gathering in the Office of Multicultural Programs and Services, in the newly built Emory Black Student Union space, and within individual cultural and Greek organizations geared towards members of the Emory Black community. However, the Emory Black community is also united online on Twitter.
The concept of a "Black Twitter" is a new trend that is now finally gaining mainstream attention. To explain the Black Twitter subgenre as a whole, I suggest checking out this awesome video from the Huffington Post.
I've already begun to draft up a list of people to interview about why people love and hate Black Twitter, how Twitter is used within the Emory Black community, how others outside the Emory Black community uses Twitter in comparison to Black students, and how on-campus organizations also utilize Twitter for their own purposes.
If there are any additional questions about my proposal idea, pleas
